In Wight's figure (Icones, t. 882) the artist has made it appear that 

 the petals are outside the calyx. The claw of the petal is in appearance 

 like the sepals and is deflexed between them. Fl. B. I. v. 1, p. 371 ;

 remarks) it docs not differ in any essential point. In the Index to the Icones, page 30, 

 he citeo his Plate ^f^2. as reiircseiitin!^ Eviorhhena.
